The adjusting screw does not tighten, it is free turning as you can see it is swaged (flared) on the bottom end like a hollow shank rivet.

To set the points, get a rough gap on the shy side of 0.020" and snug down the locking screw just enough to hold it. Turn the adjusting screw in the direction to widen the gap out to 0.020" and tighten down the locking screw.

The adjustment screw head is now up against the stationary arm. This helps prevent the arm from working loose under the locking screw as the points make & break.

If you need the plate in the pic, send me an e:mail with a mailing address and I will get it off to you sometime in the next few daysjlb323AThughes.net
